Cottage in Dorset

About this property

Set amidst stunning countryside, a grouping of early 19th century dairy cow sheds and milking parlour have been restored and converted into three unique and spacious dwellings. This picturesque spot offers abundant walking trails and a rich historical backdrop, with the nearby ancient Iron Age hill forts of Lewesdon Hill and Pilsdon Pen, both within 4 miles. The Wessex Ridgeway, a long distance path running from Lyme Regis to the Dorset/Wiltshire border, passes through the farm and is footsteps from the cottage.
